libya testified before the house oversight committee that even before the attack that killed ambassador stevens and three other americans they never had the forces needed. comes a day after the state department said they never concluded it was triggered by the youtube video. this despite the fact that u.n. ambassador susan rice repeatedly called it spontaneous. the president's top counterterrorism adviser met with the libyan president today and discussed the effort to track down those responsible for the attack. of course, this is an election year and certainly politics to all this. democrats say they have been completely left out of the oversight investigation. being led by republican chairman issa. mitt romney recently made the attack a focus of criticism of the president on foreign policy. let's put it through the "spin cycle." first context. i think issa would have more credible if he didn't try to make a scandal stick to the president. he was the one that was behind the fast and furious and all male panel on contraception. the idea of him conducting a nonpartisan unbiassed investigation is

i think it is in play in the ways that you laid out, steven. i talked to the chairman of the rnc from wisconsin. they think the ground game in wisconsin is really, really good. of course they'll say that. they count wisconsin as a state in their column. i think probably even more than ohio. i think they feel really good about it. >> i agree that wisconsin is probably an easier reach than ohio, but i still don't see it. romney hasn't led in a poll there since august. he still has a three-point deficit. there's not much time left in the race. yes, scott walker won in the recall election. what the exit polls showed is a lot of people went and voted just against the idea of a recall. they were uncomfortable with recalling the state's governor. almost 92% of the people that voted for tom barrett are intending to vote for barack obama in november. only 76% of scott walker voters in the recall election are planning on voting for mitt romney. there's quite a significant chunk of people that voted for scott walker plan on voting for barack obama. >> tha

in the case of libya, for example, the tragedy with ambassad ambassador stevens notwithstanding no american troops died in libya when we moved in to help remove "the dictator" gadhafi. >> without congressional approval i might add. >> if romney wants an argument about the need for a weaker executive, he's permitted to do so. i don't think that's playing where he wants to play. i think that, you know, where obama can be criticized is certainly on libya in terms of the attack on libya and benghazi. i was in libya for a month this summer, including a week in benghazi and the problem in libya is there's no sfablt there at all. there's no police force. there's nothing to prevent someone from an attack on any government facility. the obama administration should have known. they should have had more security there, and he's very vulnerable in that regard. whether or not it matters to voters pondering pocketbook issues remains to be seen, though. >> i'm thinking back a few weeks to the run-up to the first debate in denver. we heard a lot of voices saying, don't get too excited. debates don't matter
